Greece: home of sun, sand, sea, and most recently Mama Mia. It's a place to relax drinking ice-cold coffee while playing tavli (backgammon). It's a place of history; a place to indulge the senses. It's also a place in which to delve into a rich smorgasbord of religious traditions and marvel at the genius and ingenuity of human kind. This program shows that Greece is a place to talk, dance, laugh, cry and ultimately, understand what it is to be human. In this episode, Michael starts his journey in the second largest city of Greece, Thessaloniki, rich in history and culture. This bustling modern metropolis is a fusion of Greek and Balkan influence thanks to its position in the north of Greece.
